PS5 thread 2.0

So, to reduce my game backlog and free up some time I bought a PS5. Doh! Really it's the last thing I need ... 😄 First PlayStation too. But the pull of those first party Sony games was too strong.

Has low fan and low coil whine. Fan is ok, but the whine is annoying as it changes depending on what's happening on screen. Spiderman remastered, map screen Vs gameplay screen for example. I haven't noticed the whine on HZD or Astro.

It's not that bad, but it does dampen the experience after the XBox Series X. I guess I'm concerned it'll get worse or be worse on different games. Not going to bother returning, but may try some of the fixes that don't invalidate warranty.

So, 3 first world problems, too many games, too little time to play them and some coil whine.

Spiderman plays and looks stunning in 60 FPS RT performance mode.

I also have some PS4 games I bought for a tenner each a couple of years ago, and I'm delighted they've been updated to 60 FPS.

Did you try deleting the game, all its saves and reload a fresh copy ? Any time I had a bugged game on the PS4 (twice I can think of) I had to delete the saves plus it’s cloud saves. PS5 hasn’t done that to me yet but it’s worth removing the saves both cloud and local, test function and then delete and reload the game.

Yeah he's tried that. Still no joy. It's weird other games are ok like Gran Turismo and spiderman etc..

Not as bad. I saw some behind the counter in Currys last week. There's not a huge amount of them but they're able to be purchased.

My birthday is in February, let's see what happens!

If you're 30+ then socks, socks are what's gonna happen!

Looks like it. Surprised there is no blog post yet

Edit, here we go

Ultra-customizable controls: You can make the DualSense Edge wireless controller uniquely yours by remapping or deactivating specific button inputs and fine-tuning your aim by adjusting stick sensitivity and dead zones (the distance your analog stick moves before it's recognized in a game). In addition, each trigger is adjustable with options to tailor travel distance and dead zones to your preference. For example, you can manually reduce travel distance of the triggers for faster inputs in competitive FPS games or reduce the dead zone for precise throttle control in racing games.

● Ability to save multiple control profiles: Once you've found your ideal control settings, you can save them to unique profiles and swap between them on the fly. With the DualSense Edge wireless controller, you'll always have your preferred controls for your games ready to go, whether you're facing Norse gods and monsters in God of War Ragnarök, or rival players in an online battle royale.

● On-controller user interface: The dedicated Fn button allows you to easily adjust your setup while staying focused on the in-game action – quickly swap between your pre-set control profiles, adjust game volume and chat balance, and access the controller profile settings menu to set up and test new control iterations while in game.

● Changeable stick caps and back buttons: Three types of swappable stick caps (standard, high dome, and low dome) help you stay comfortable in game while maintaining grip and stability. The two swappable sets of back buttons (half-dome and lever) can be configured to be any other button input, putting more essential controls at your fingertips.

● Replaceable stick modules: Play longer with the ability to fully replace each individual stick module on the controller (replacement stick modules will be sold separately).

● Built-in DualSense wireless controller features: The DualSense Edge wireless controller retains the signature comfort and immersive experience of the DualSense wireless controller when playing supported games, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, built-in microphone, motion controls, and more.

If my video reading skills are any good, the buttons under the thumbsticks are the Fn buttons for in game access to profiles and settings. I'll probably get one, depending on the price. Wouldn't use most the features but the extra paddles interest me.

If it's built to last, I'll get one for use on both PS and PC.

Been playing most of my games on the Steam Deck lately and it is hard to go back to a controller that doesn't have back paddles.

Will be a day one purchase for me assuming they have decent availability.

The buttons under the thumb sticks look like they just might be just locks/handles. You can pull out the stick module and replace it (quick fix for joystick drift).

Apparently those are the Function buttons that let you quickly switch profiles.

It's out of stock everywhere.

F*ck Sony so.

I'm never going to bother with a PS5.

This has turned me off them completely. I think console gaming ends for me with the PS4.

After I'm finished playing it I don't know what I'll do.
